    It would help if you told us which engine you have (3B or ABY?) since the ignition systems (the likely culprit) are so different.

      Over boost cut off, is it like kangaroo jumping when you floor it?, usually a boost leak, possibly a dirty MAF (My connector was dirty causing this). Pull the fuses on the ECU (The 2 with a plastic clip over them saying Motor in the fuse panet under the bonnett) leave it for 20 seconds and re-fit them --after pulling the fuses do 2 miles of chilled driving before you boot it to allow the ECU time to re-set itself to the engine, and see if it is still doing it, if so its probably a boost leak. do a search i think everyone has had one of those at some point.
